How Do You Know?
How do you know your enemy?
Show him what you have of value
and he will immediately
begin thinking of ways
to take it from you.
How do you know the thief?
When he is reminded of his theft,
the flame of red hot anger
flares up in him
uncontrollably.
How do you know who is your friend?
Your friend is the one
who loves you for who
and what you are…
asking nothing in return.
wailing
all through the night
the piper’s lament
echoing
the ocean’s restless call
the whistling wind
stolen by a phantom
your footsteps no more
stinging sands
dawn’s silent procession
the prayer’s
well-worn flight-path
This Sound
The night is still.
This sound…
Is it inside
or outside my head?
I move about.
It follows.
Someone must be playing
tricks on me…
forgive my rave
for your words you gave,
those images, those lines,
which on you reminds…
be my guest, sit at my table
have a drink and watch the fable
for today, maybe tomorrow,
I shall need your words to borrow.
Wherever I may find myself, there’ll always be a table for you, friend…

Russia’s greatest poet Pushkin was deeply influenced by the German romantic poets, though it is not generally known, and many translations of English poetry were made by poets at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the 20th century, Gorky for instance.and were widely read.
Go to the forest and lie in the grass and look at the sky, watch the trees, close your eyes and feel the words of the first two lines of Keats’s’ poem
To Autumn
SEASON of mists and mellow fruitfulness!
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease, 10
For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap’d furrow sound asleep,
Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twinèd flowers;
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cider-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.
Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—
While barrèd clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
John Keats. 1795–1821

“Here lies one whose name was writ on water…”
Jordan King to Abandon Part of 1994 Peace Treaty With Israel on Land Lease
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201810211069080472-jordan-israel-peace-treaty-land-lease/
“In line with the 1994 peace agreement, which stipulated a one-year notice period, Jordan granted Israel private ownership rights in two border territories. However, the Jordan King noted that he wants to reclaim the land, citing national interests.
Jordan’s King Abdullah II announced on Sunday that Jordan has chosen to nix two annexes of the 1994 peace treaty with Israel, ending the Israeli lease of Baqura/Naharayim and Al-Ghamr/Zofar territories.
“Baqura and Ghamr are Jordanian territory and will remain Jordanian, and we exercise full sovereignty over our land,” the King said, as quoted by the state-owned Jordan News Agency (Petra).
“Our priorities in such difficult regional circumstances are protecting our interests and doing everything necessary for Jordan and the Jordanians,” Abdullah II noted, adding that Israel had been made aware of the decision.
Both areas in question are located on the Israel-Jordan border; Israeli farmers were granted private land ownership rights and property interests for a 25-year period under the 1994 peace accord, which settled long-standing land and water disputes between the two countries.
After the 1994 agreement, Jordan became the second Arab country (after Egypt) to establish diplomatic relations with Israel. The deal helped Amman to pave the way for US economic and military assistance to the country. However, Israel-Jordan relations have been strained in recent years, particularly due to Amman’s stance on the issue of Jerusalem. Earlier this year, Jordanian King Abdullah II confirmed that East Jerusalem should be the capital of a future Palestinian state, while Israel views Jerusalem as its official capital.”
Also, the israelis have been accelerating their genocidal “greater israel” strategy, at least trying to, and Jordan would cease to exist should they succeed. A small move on Jordan’s part, but indicates perhaps the beginning of a realignment.
‘We seek justice!’ Erdogan talks with Trump, says he’ll reveal ‘naked truth’ about Khashoggi’s fate
https://www.rt.com/news/441889-erdogan-trump-khashoggi-justice/
“In a phone call with President Donald Trump, Recep Tayyip Erdogan pushed for the need to disclose all circumstances of journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s death. Earlier, the Turkish leader promised to make an “important statement” soon.
“We seek justice and this will be revealed in all its naked truth, not through some ordinary steps but in all its naked truth. This is not an ordinary case. I will make statements on Tuesday at the AK Party parliamentary group meeting,” Erdogan said on Sunday afternoon, as cited by the Sabah newspaper.
“The incident will be revealed entirely,” he emphasized. In a phone call with Trump later in the day, he once again spoke about the need to uncover and disclose “all circumstances” of Khashoggi’s fate, according to Anadolu.
Reigniting speculations that Turkish authorities might indeed have access to a mysterious audio recording that allegedly captured the moment the journalist was tortured, killed and dismembered by a death hit squad of 15 men, Erdogan promised to “go into detail” about what exactly Turkish investigators learned after searching the residence of the consul general as well as the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.”
This could go several different ways…
Perhaps this explains the faux-outrage from the US political establishment.
They fear that the really nasty evidence is coming and have been bending over backwards to distance themselves from the KSA.
Damascus describes US-led coalition’s actions in Raqqa as genocide — SANA
http://tass.com/world/1027079
“According to the official source at the Syrian foreign ministry the coalition uses terrorists to complicate and prolong the crisis in Syria
The US-led coalition’s actions in Syria’s Raqqa are seen in Damascus as genocide, SANA news agency said on Sunday citing an official source at the Syrian foreign ministry.
“The entire world has witnessed the systematic destruction of Raqqa city by the so-called international coalition and the rotten bodies of innocent civilians in the streets of the city and the displacement of the rest of its inhabitants which amounts to crimes of genocide that require accountability,” the foreign ministry official was quoted as saying.
According to the source, at this very time the coalition opened “safe corridors” to evacuate Islamic State (a terrorist organization outlawed in Russia) terrorists “to use them elsewhere in order to complicate the crisis in Syria and prolong it to serve the agendas of the colonial West.”
The statement followed the French foreign ministry’s congratulatory message of October 17 on the anniversary of Raqqa’s liberation.
The Syrian foreign ministry source stressed that France’s actions within the international coalition are “a shame for France” and are a reminder of “its colonialist history which is full of crimes against the peoples.”
The situation in Raqqa, which is controlled by the US-led coalition, remains tense. According to the United Nations assessment mission, 80% of buildings in Raqqa are either ruined or damaged, with dead bodies staying under the debris. People are dying because the city has not been cleared of mines. The city is cut of electricity and water supplies. Schools and hospitals are closed.”
Jihadist rebels allegedly transport ‘chlorine and sarin gases’ to Jisr Al-Shughour
https://mobile.almasdarnews.com/article/jihadist-rebels-allegedly-transport-chlorine-and-sarin-gases-to-jisr-al-shughour/
“The jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham and the Turkestan Islamic Party transported chemical weapons to the Jisr Al-Shughour countryside, the Sputnik News Agency reported.
Citing informed sources, the Sputnik report claimed that the jihadist rebels transported “chlorine and sarin gases” from the town of Ma’arat Masrin to the Jisr Al-Shughour in western Idlib.
The report did not state how the sources came across this information; however, similar allegations have been made over the last few months.
The Syrian Arab Army does have many spies currently operating inside the Idlib Governorate, as they often post videos behind enemy lines via social media.
Furthermore, the Syrian Army is believed to have many operatives currently embedded inside the command centers for the jihadist rebels; this was revealed during the East Ghouta operation.”
Syria demands international investigation into US-led Coalition’s attacks on its territories
https://sana.sy/en/?p=149281
“Damascus, SANA-Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said the heinous crime committed by the illegitimate US-led Coalition in al-Sousa and al-Bubadran villages in Deir Ezzor countryside prove once again its disregard for international law.
The ministry demanded a transparent and independent international investigation into this crime and other crimes on its territories.
Syria’s demand came in two letters the ministry addressed to the UN Secretary-General and President of the United Nations Security Council that SANA received a copy of on Saturday.
On Friday October 19 2018, the illegal US-led Coalition targeted with warplanes residential buildings in al-Sousa and al-Bubadran villages in Deir Ezzor southeastern countryside, killing 62 civilians, mostly women and children, and injuring an unidentified number, some are in a critical condition.
The ministry reminded of earlier letters in which it indicated to the Coalition escalating its bloody attacks against innocent civilians and its use of weapons of mass destruction and weapons with an indiscriminate impact such as white phosphorus in bombarding residential areas in Raqqa, Deir Ezzor, Aleppo and Hasaka.
The letters demanded the UN Security Council to take a prompt action to end these crimes and prevent their recurrence.
According to the ministry, yesterday’s crime is a war crime and a crime against humanity which proves once again the Coalition’s disregard for international law and the international humanitarian law, and belies the Coalition’s claims of fighting ISIS terrorism while in reality it is supporting its continuity in Syria.
The ministry demanded that the UN Security Council shoulder its responsibilities in preventing these crimes and conducting a transparent and independent international investigation into them, and terminating the illegal presence of US and other foreign troops on the Syrian territories.

A People’s History of Koch Industries: How Stalin Funded the Tea Party Movement

Quote
5. Fissile | April 17th, 2010 at 6:55 am
It’s a good piece, Yasha, but it’s been my observation that logic, facts and reason never did sway the masses, and probably never will. Took me a long time to get this figured out, that’s why I’m poor.
Case in point: My elderly neighbor, the WWII “veteran”.
Any way, the dude that lives across the street is in his early eighties. After attending public (socialist) schools through the 12 grade, he joined the Army Air Corp in summer of 1945. While in training, Curtis “Bomb Them Back To The Stone Age” LeMay gave the Japanese an atomic suntan, and put the Empire of the Rising Sun out of business for good. As a result, the neighbor in question is technically a WWII vet, even though he never saw a shot fired in anger. He was “entitled” to the all the rights and privileges that were showered on the “Greatest Generation”.
After spending a couple of years on occupation duty — being paid by the taxpayer, he returned to the US, and attended college for free under the GI Bill (more socialism).
His first job was with a defense contractor. 90% of this “private” company’s business was made up of no-bid “cost plus fee” government contracts.
His second job — where he remained until retirement — was also with a “private” defense contractor — same deal as the one mentioned above.
This neighbor did well for himself — paid house, new luxury car ever three years, nest egg of over a million, good pension, health care for life, etc.
To sum up: Attended public schools — socialism. Joined Army — organization supported by tax dollars. Received government paid college education — more socialism. Spent his entire career working on government projects — yet more socialism.
Do you think this man is grateful for the the benefits that socialism has provided him? You betcha! He shows his gratitude by ranting against school taxes, and that “commie Obama”. After all, he got everything he has today, “by myself, with no help from anyone”.
End Quote
I know people who behave in the same way, after the falling of socialism. They are now in power or around the power structures, forgetting all they had gathered in their pockets during that time, in terms of free school, learning at universities, free medicare and so on. Now they turned the page, accusing the past which gave them bread, becoming the most severe adversaries of a truly independent and sovereign state.

“Until people come to their senses, we will build it up”
he said, referring to the US nuclear arsenal. “When they do, we will all be smart and we’ll stop. Not only stop, but we’ll reduce, which I’d love to do.”
Asked if this should be taken as a threat, Trump said yes.
“It’s a threat to whoever you want. It includes China, it includes Russia”
He really really wants to have the biggest, most biggly nuclear arsenal on the planet. This man is now a terrible problem and a terrible liability to humankind and our only only life affording planet for many billions of miles in any direction.
It is no more a joke. Its no more just talk, or just propaganda or belligerence or just gasbagging.
This is now a deliberate threat to all mankind. I’m sure both Russia and the US have pushed this treaty here a little and there a little. But then you sit down and talk. You don’t threaten to build up a nuclear arsenal to threaten the world just because you think you can. Unhinged and deranged and completely psychologically unconnected to reality and horribly dangerous. And now we understand the various threats coming from various US administration officials that we saw and sometimes laughed at in sheer cognitive dissonance these past two years.
Our laughter must now end. They were all deadly serious.
Maybe so, but a lot of inconsistencies and logical contradictions still abound.
My comment posted accidentally before I was done with it.
Let me elaborate:
1. Trump may be the Masked Man …..in a Global Masked Ball of Strategic Deception…..he may even be the Anti-Christ fooling a lot of Christians….but he is for certain not the Lone Ranger….recklessly and stupidly “going it alone”. A presidency whether in Russia, China, America or anywhere else is a Conspiracy of Allied Forces….”breathing” (spira) “together…or with” (Con) each other in some common purpose. Or it quickly disintegrates …..and that individual head of state is quickly co-opted, or isolated even more, to be killed, removed, or tolerated for a short time after a thorough neutering. Did that happen in the first two weeks of taking office, with the removing of Flynn……or was THAT deception…or not 100% completed….and is Flynn serving DJT still, unofficially…..with it soon to be official…not long after his full exoneration………..with FISA Declassification??
2. As dire as the Demise of the Petro Dollar and Threatened Chaotic Collapse of the Current Monetary System is, conducting an armed hold up of the rest of the world at the point of a nuclear gun is not the best or only way (and may not work now,,,or ever) to medium or long term survival for either the USA or those in the intelligence agencies and military that backed and advised Trump….as an urgently required alternative to the rabid war-mongering of Hillary Clinton. Evidently they feared allowing Hillary anywhere near the Nuclear Button but Trump only makes traitorous Democrats and RINOS nervous (calls for his removal with the 25th Amendment) not those co-conspirators that helped Donald stop Hillary.
3. I think there is ample evidence that Trump is still 90% concentrated on defeating those domestic enemies and not seeking foreign ones, both for the above reasons AND because dominating by threats and dividing Russia from China is not even feasible for the neocons to carry out, at this late date….even if DJT’s intentions turn out to be MORE aggressive and bellicose than Hillary’s were…or even if she were in the White House right now. But the neocons will continue to play the role they are paid to play….regardless of the futility of their chances…..and DJT…… hopefully……. is just entertaining them.
4. These are NOT laughing matters…but their interpretation is highly subjective. Here is yet another …vigilant but less alarmed view of the matter regarding events of just days ago, in Singapore:
“The ten ASEAN defense ministers issued a statement which included: “we] welcome the conduct of the ASEAN-China Maritime Exercise in 2018, and intention to conduct the ASEAN-United States Maritime Exercise in 2019, which will enhance friendship and confidence between ASEAN member states navies and the People’s Liberation Army Navy and the United States Navy.” General Mattis also held a one-on-one meeting with Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe for 90 minutes. Randall Schriver, a U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Asian and Pacific Security Affairs, told reporters after the meeting that Mattis had described the meeting as “straightforward and candid,” and that the Chinese “are interested in having a military relationship that’s a stabilizing force in the overall relationship.”
A “deconfliction” agreement was signed by the ASEAN ministers, and endorsed by defense ministers Mattis and Wei, to expand on guidelines intended to “reduce the likelihood of encounters or incidents spiraling into conflict in the event of miscalculation.”
The Trump Administration has confirmed that he will meet with President Xi Jinping at the G20 meeting in Argentina on Nov. 20, soon after the Nov. 6 midterm election, while a summit with President Vladimir Putin is also likely in November, according to unnamed administration sources. All three leaders, as well as India’s Narendra Modi, will be together in the Argentina event. It is an opportunity for these leaders to discuss not only ending the anti-China and anti-Russia hysteria in the West, but also the urgent necessity of convening a new Bretton Woods conference to deal with the global financial chaos, to prevent an uncontrolled break down of the quadrillion dollar derivatives bubble threatening the world’s real economy.
https://larouchepac.com/20181022/dramatic-steps-singapore-prevent-us-china-military-conflict
A more feasible option for DJT than any attempt to bully other Big Boys on the block at this point in time, IMHO.
Midterm elections in two weeks and placating the Sino-phobia and Russo-phobia of the zombified MSM brainwashed Democrat electorate so they stay watching CNN and don’t get off their couches and vote….might just be DJT’s real devious purpose here. What alarms you…sedates them???
If not, keep your powder dry and stay on high alert until clearer actions (as opposed to words) are forthcoming from Trump…..after midterms and when the conspirators behind Russia-gate are literally being hand-cuffed and then prosecuted.
Maybe the man is barking but not bite. I wonder where from comes the money for such a rearming program, it does cost a few penny…when one listens to him saying ” we need that 100 billion dollars deal with the Saudis” and the Navy cannot assure escort for transport ships ? when US cannot develop a reliable spacecraft to send people on the international space Station ? When the steel industry is at very low level and trade wars are looming, and so on…don’t forget the coming mid-term elections, everybody is barking day and night. The missile treaty is another trump card he uses as bargaining chip in his deal with Putin, showing how strong he is(for the outsiders and for the insiders).
“Until people come to their senses, we will build it up”… What does this actually say?
It does not say “governments”, it says “people”.
Of course the orange clownster is an idiot, didn’t understand what he said, but the gods sometimes speak through idiots, don’t they?
When the people come to their senses the insane sociopathic clowns will be out of power – and Bush 41’s fear of “lamp-posts”? Will this be justified?
Out of the mouth of idiot orange clown…he accidentally spoke a true thing… Ironic, eh?
IF DJT were an idiot he would not still be breathing: Objective fact.
“Of course the orange clownster is an idiot, didn’t understand what he said,………….” = Highly subjective and non-factual conclusion.
Maybe hundreds of millions of people miss-evaluating and underestimating him is part of his necessarily (so far) highly deceptive and effective “maskirovka” which might be dispensed with once the Russia-gate on going coup attempt and prospects for impeachment …..are completely routed???
I may not trust Trump 100% or “The Plan”….because neither Trump nor even Q have fully even cryptically spelled out any such thing in sufficient detail…to even know whether there are parts of it that his own Anti-Empire base will be disillusioned and disgusted by it…..YET.
But I’ll be damned if I’d call him an idiot. I’d be much more likely to agree with amarynth and conclude that this Orange Wrecking Ball is Devilishly Dangerous not just to MSM and DNC and RINOs but everyone else as well, before I could agree with your comment…….just for the meaningless pleasure of feeling smart about myself.
Perhaps he is still breathing purely because he is such an idiot and, as such, presents no effective challenge at all to the underlying agenda of his handlers.
The point taken is that what the clown said was true. As to the view that the individual is an idiot…look up the word – it fits. It is not intended to constitute a pejorative, but simply says the obvious.
Idiot – ἰδιώτης
His Sun is in union with Uranus – hence: ‘clown’ fits, but
with a Twins-heart he is a trickster-clown. I agree, God
speaks through him – to the poker-nation.
Yes, Cunning. A man of unutterably low class. Yet we may see even this example set aside for the Celestial Nikki. To be clear, though it was a silly and meaningless act, I cast a vote for the clown. “Let us witness the farce” I said to my wife. Given the Glorious Truths of “Our Democracy” my State ignored votes for clown and supported the female career criminal.
(in the usa if you vote they sometimes call you for jury duty…and then you get to vote about stuff that matters, once in many years. Well, it matters to the poor sod on trial.)

“Putin’s Puppet” Advances Nuclear Missile Escalations Against Putin

Caitlin sure uses all the words that I want to use as well (grins). I checked the Chinese English press this morning and they use an interesting word … blackmail … saying that they will not fall for blackmail.
For those that think we’re misunderstanding what Trump said, listen yourself … It is on this RT video quite early on .. will not take much time – around time marker 00:15 and less than 2 minutes.
https://www.rt.com/usa/441966-us-will-build-up-nuclear-arsenal/
I for one do not feel kindly about using Nuclear threats to fight internal battles and win internal elections. The threat itself is a thing of horror.
The threat is required to ensure massive investment occurs in both US & Russian MIC. Without such threat the centralisation of wealth/power slows. The global elite do not hate each other – they work in tandem.
At least you needn’t be so concerned about superpower confrontation.

Q-tards wring their hands and stare at their monitors, suffering withdrawal symptoms and needing a Q injection of Hopium to “make it” through the day or night.
Nice guys like Praying Medic hold two hour live Q & A chats:
https://youtu.be/QqZ6MIvZyTY?t=6116 cued on the Question: ” Is Flynn Q”?
Now THERE PM’s answer is worth a lot more to me than what I take as misguided assessments of his on Israel and therefore Syria and Iran:
“I will tell you this: If you look at the people who General Flynn is following on Twitter, he’s following most of the people that are involved in Q..”
Now, since I will probably never stick even one toe into the Twitterverse EVER and have not found PM to be at all dishonest or deceptive (wrong is another matter….who doesn’t make mistakes??) that tidbit is of value. Do you think General Flynn is a less serious person than YOU are???
Seriously!
Do you think Flynn is less serious than Mossad dupe Jack Posobiec aka “Microchip” the “Outer” of Q (claimed he WAS Q…..but it’s time to end the psyop…..) who Neon Revolt crushed on 8 Chan, Twitter etc etc. just a few short weeks ago ????
SO, even people whose strategic judgment you don’t trust 100%…just might have eyes and ears on things of some relevance like that little Praying Medic Flynn Nugget….that I found to be of the most value in the entire nearly two hour Live Chat.
Otherwise, got to go right now, but PM is jolly and nice and writing a book: Q the First Year
Meanwhile, what is NEON doing???
That’s next on the Reconnaissance Report From The Questern Front.
dear friends
a nuclear holocaust
threatens
a beloved planet
with extinction,
world war warns

but the battle
is inside.
Christ did not say
pray for the earth,
he said
pray for your enemies.
dear enemies
let us pray.
you can pray
they will sway,
you can talk
they will walk,
once in heaven you can tell
which had been the best way
until then, here and now,
let the apples grow.
“once in heaven you can tell”

” 22.10.2018
Embassy Press Officer’s reply to a media question concerning comparisons in Britain between Russian and Saudi Arabia’s reactions to high-profile incidents
Question: After the reports concerning the death of the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the British media have been drawing parallels between the actions of Saudi Arabia and Russia. Are there any good reasons for such comparisons?
Answer: We have already stated that we would not be commenting idle talks. It is for journalists, not diplomats, to speculate on this kind of issues.
However, we have taken note of yet another article by Boris Johnson in “The Daily Telegraph”, where he compares the death of Jamal Khashoggi to the so-called poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury. In particular, he insists that Saudi Arabia and Turkey should – and rightly so – provide the public with as much information as possible concerning the exact causes of the journalist’s death.
To hear calls for a dialogue and presentation of evidence from Boris Johnson is interesting. It is worth remembering that it was him who, while being Foreign Secretary, advocated a hard line towards Russia after the Salisbury incident, which included a refusal to present any evidence or to cooperate at any official level, and increased sanctions on the basis of political declarations only.
The statements of the former Foreign Secretary highlight the double standards of the UK foreign policy in the best way possible. More than 7 months have passed since the Salisbury incident, but it is still unclear what really happened there, where and in what conditions the affected Russian citizens currently are, and what evidence forms the basis of public accusations against Russia and certain Russian nationals. The investigation has been classified by the British authorities. Domestic and international public have to consume leaks and speculations which are impossible to verify. To date, the Tory government has not answered a single serious question raised by Russia.”

Any response Boris?
The Germans are investigating using feel-good dope to suppress resistance to invasion…no kidding:
“…Accommodating the large influx of migrants
not only challenges the humanitarian capacities of European
countries but also requires their native populations to adjust to
rapid growths in ethnic diversity, religious pluralism, and cultural
differentiation. However, the impetus to adapt to changing social
ecosystems is susceptible to considerable interindividual hetero-
geneity (3). Resistance to this transition often goes along with
xenophobic sentiment (4), and as a consequence, recent elections
in Europe have favored populist candidates who have openly
expressed xenophobic attitudes toward refugees (5). How…”
You get the idea…

I ought to have added the url for Huxley’s interview (1958) in which he predicts much about today, and which ties into the German pharmaceutical search for “SOMA”… (above).
Huxley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TQZ-2iMUR0
I recall seeing the interview when it was first transmitted, but many here are, I assume, innocent about it’s substance or even existence.
It is an important or significant interview. Almost every word uttered is significant.
You know, this is very interesting and in the same time a hard diagnosis on the state of the mind of those who wrote that article. I have no doubts that the pharma industry is involved in all this “cool” explanation. Now you have to search who are behind, who are those pharmaceuticals and who are their owners, the result will be also interesting to find out (if not already known by many who are following the logic of events regarding the migration issue and many other things as – and this may be inconvenient for some – degrading the white people of Europe)
Thank you kindly, loan.
While I am not surprised that the authors’ evident delusions abide, and also not surprised at the actual chemistry, I am appalled to see such diabolical efforts. Seen in the context of the abandonment of “informed consent” from the Nuremberg Medical Rules (they have established this now in the US) forced drugging, or worse, is coming our way… This seems to be a criminal project, political in method and goal, and thus fits the rubric of “terrorism”, I expect.
Consider this gem:
“…In the midst of rapid globalization, the peaceful coexistence of cultures requires a deeper understanding of the forces that compel prosocial behavior and thwart xenophobia. Yet, the conditions promoting such outgroup-directed altruism have not been determined. Here we report the results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled experiment showing that enhanced activity of the oxytocin system paired with charitable social cues can help counter the effects of xenophobia by fostering altruism toward refugees. These findings suggest that the combination of oxytocin and peer-derived altruistic norms reduces outgroup rejection even in the most selfish and xenophobic individuals, and thereby would be expected to increase the ease by which people adapt to rapidly changing social ecosystems.”…
” peer-derived altruistic norms reduces outgroup rejection even in the most selfish and xenophobic individuals” is pretty language, but what does it mean? I conceive that it means group intimidates people who do not agree… By structure this is non-voluntary, and of course lends itself to economies of scale…re-education camps, torture, and “spritzing” those beyond redemption, does it not?
This is the same sort of thinking, delusional thinking, that brought us IG Farben – as is the drugging of something like 1/3rd of Americans with psychotropics. One supposes that “spritzing” will come along in the fullness of time… (that’s part of the German nazi lexicon).
Crosstalk today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN9dnpCA87g makes, by the way, an interesting discrimination between classical liberalism and what they term “progressive liberalism”. The latter being the sort that has intolerance as a fundamental, while the former is just the opposite and values tolerance. The text also raises the names of some modern philosophers I found interesting.
Did somebody claim clairvoyance? I must have missed that…and it is difficult to envision Huxley as being in on a plan…rather the other way ’round I would say.
There were and are plans of course, it’s simply that Huxley was not a co-conspirator. For plans look to the CFR and Rockefeller gangs (or “clubs”)…
http://www.truthstreammedia.com/ Perhaps, drugging people with drugs is no longer even necessary. Anyhoo, Aaron and Melissa produce interesting work. I suspect that would be perps of societal control are perpetually disappointed, and cycle through episodes of god-like elation and utter dejection.
“Yet, the conditions promoting such outgroup-directed altruism have not been determined.”
Not to them apparently. But I was at Woodstock, so I know differently. :)
Been there, done that, had a t-shirt so long ago that by now the fabric has just faded away into nothingness.
Its easy, just do what Jesus said … love thy brother. Its absolutely amazing to see where that can go when you get a group of people together all with thoughts of peace, love, kindness, generosity and friendship. Its amazing where it can go when everyone figures out they are in an environment where no one wants to hurt them and everyone is peaceful and kind and thus everyone can let down the defenses that they erect just to survive out in the Babylon that is the rest of the world.
Of course, people figuring that out is the opposite of what Big Pharma wants for the world. So, they’ll ignore it and pretend they have to invent what Jesus tried to teach many years ago.
Let us assume that the experiment was done with rats…and one rat clan was on warmfuzzydope and the other not on warmfuzzydope… What would happen?
This is what the study suggests – enabling a foreign invasion by suspending resistance as policy enforced by presumably compulsory drugging combined with organized peer pressure…
Who would drug the invading people?
This is a part of building the basis for genocide in Europe.
Huxley and other Empire futurists are not clairvoyant. They’ve had a plan and the means (the Institutions of Empire in Education, Science, “culture”…”the arts”…banking, and intelligence services….) to bring their overarching plan about….and organize their victims to acquiese to parts of it without ever comprehending the Whole Thing They Were Walking Themselves Into……as dupes…victims and Accessories to Crimes Against Humanity.
Many elements of the Green Movement …Prince Phillip’s World Wildlife Fund is a prime example….fool a great many people. Who’s against a cuddly Panda…or clean water and air? Ah…but as usual, “The DEVIL (literally….lol) is in the details.”
Sometimes it almost takes going into SPACE…at least lower earth orbit to put what’s going on down here in perspective. Not that I’ve ever been there or might get the opportunity for that experience—except in my imagination.
Back to the Q-western Front…minus Q
I’ll get to Neon’s latest now….reluctantly……because nobody else did….all day…though I hoped they, anyone (lol) would take over, intrigued by THIS “opening shot” photo of his latest article:
https://www.neonrevolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/d75ff54e1d837f1f3c0e799047c571212673521090dec94d6f9e9fab8bb04e38_compressed.jpg
WHY??
Because Politics, as Neon says in the article
https://www.neonrevolt.com/2018/10/18/soros-hollywood-rentboy-exposed-by-blacklistanon-greatawakening-neonrevolt/
“is downstream of culture.”…..not the other way around. And the High Priests of Empire seem to grasp that fact better than the “Sovereignists” do…or at least, to this point, they have been far, far more active…in putting that “rubber to the road”.
Here you have the Obama of Cinema, posing as the champion of the “Blacklisted Creative Artists of the World”…but once Neon Revolt (a refugee from Hollywood and true, not fake outcast screenplay writer ) is through presenting his devastating evidence you’d have to be a MORON to believe it.
Now, this exposure of Victimhood Pimp for Empire (and Harvard classmate of the President of NBC News, Noah Oppenheim) Franklin Leonard is a very valuable contribution to the Defeat of The Empire that NEON has pulled together and presented.…..in Q’s absence from 8 chan of 15+ days by now.
Here they are in graduation gowns, together Harvard Class of 2001 (if my arithmetic is correct):
https://www.neonrevolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Harvard-Alums_compressed.jpg
And Neon has been on the case, soliciting help and dropping clues…kind of like Q….on 8 chan for a good long while……as…..You Guessed it!, “BlacklistAnon”…..and while I know of instances in which Neon and others make hasty (Neon) or stubborn (many others!) errors that are not unimportant blunders do I reject their good work because presumably honest mistakes here and there?
No I don’t, because in Neon’s case, this “failed screenwriter” knows how to dig,dig,dig deeper and deeper and deeper into anyone worthy of closer inspection. And besides exposing the mind control agenda of Leonard for moviegoing zombies……well ……………”a picture is worth a thousand words” and boy Oh boy does Neon dig out the photographs:
https://www.neonrevolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FLIMF_compressed.jpg The Champion of The Downtrodden, Franklin Leonard with…………Christine LeGarde!
https://www.neonrevolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/FLDWS_compressed.jpg The Champion of the Downtrodden Masses with…….Debbie Wasserman-Schultz!
And Obama…….and (One Minion…note well!) our man Franklin Leonard playing a part in plugging the movie version of the Snowden Deception.
Etc,etc,etc.
Neon is no 8 chan slouch. His latest is a fabulously deep and thorough “dive” into Culture War….of the Empire versus the human race….though I am NOT very enthusiastic about the way he couches it in left/right duality terms…………which everyone should know deviate wildly from Evil vs Good terms of any international accuracy whatsoever.…and IMHO are a real cognitive mind-trap.
But when someone is doing a 1,000 times to one million times more than yours truly, should yours truly quibble and reject the truth unearthed by such a person as Neon?? No, I would not. But I wouldn’t budge on his few and far between blunders, either. Haste makes waste and I hope he auto-corrects one of those, in particular. But later on that!
Onward and Upward.
Next…..for amarynth, especially…….Q in Space!
So, I have to stop typing now and watch the video first.

CURWOOD: Senator, who are some of the Koch connected people in the Trump administration?
WHITEHOUSE: At this point I think ProPublica has identified over 100 of them, but they include people as powerful as the Vice President, Mike Pence, who has always been extremely close to and indeed even a part of the Koch operation. They include Mike Pompeo, who represented the district in which the Koch brothers live and where they operate. They include the legislative affairs lead for the White House, Marc Short. Kellyanne Conway used to do polling for their front group, Americans for Prosperity. And wherever you turn you see people who are infiltrating the administration out of that Koch brothers apparatus. It’s to the point where it’s not even clear that this is really a Trump administration rather than a Koch administration operating with the either connivance or permission of the Trumps.

PS:
but one should never be confused that there is a thin piece of paper between the GOP & DEMS – here’s Sheldon Whitehouse in more action https://www.jpost.com/International/6-Democratic-US-senators-reject-call-to-cut-Israel-aid
When will the US halfwits ever wake-up.
It’s not so easy to wake up people and I tell you why : the US people have not experienced the real hardships which their European counterparts have (two world wars on their territory and their consequences) Europe had been cut in two, eastern part under Soviet influence and western part under US influence (after ww2) If many who lived in eastern parts of Europe and emigrated to US couldn’t understand the changes and the “why”, how could a born american do it ? they were born and grown under a belief (the protestant and catholic churches had their influence also) that they live in a “real and only one democracy” in the world, being “the beacon of liberty”, “the torch” whom redirects all eyes to them as “exclusive” people and the entire world lies under their feet. Israel, as “prophetic influence” has made a good job indeed, reaching out to american wider audience through the Christian congregations, through Hollywood and media, all this being made in decades.Wake up call, needs something else, something which has to do with latest Putin statement at Valdai, or a meltdown in fiscal sense.
Bro 93 (in my opinion) is one of those who is awakening, trying to learn everything he could, fighting with himself, with his past, with his ideas, principles, about a proper and better world, sharing many things with us with his sincerity and hope. I can’t blame him, because if I do that, I should blame myself for a lot of things done in my past or judged wrongly. Now, after that experience, I know what went wrong and what was good. The Americans lack this experience, but there is also a question of character or personality, two singers don’t sing in the same way the same scores, they have different voices.
It’s not so easy to wake up people and I tell you why : the US people have not experienced the real hardships which their European counterparts have (two world wars on their territory and their consequences)
I only wish your explanation was true ioan, but I don’t think it is.
Based on today’s appalling news of the $1.2B lottery win, this seems more likely
Quote
But it’s the poor who are really losing. The poorest third of households buy half of all lotto tickets, according to a Duke University study in the 1980s, in part because lotteries are advertised most aggressively in poorer neighborhoods. A North Carolina report from NC Policy Watch found that the people living in the poorest counties buy the most tickets. “Out of the 20 counties with poverty rates higher than 20 percent, 18 had lottery sales topping the statewide average of $200 per adult,” the North Carolina Justice Center reported.
A 1986 California survey found that lottery players were split 50-50 on whether they played for money or for fun. But among those with less than $30,000, “25 percent more respondents cited money rather than fun, while the reverse was true for those with higher incomes,” wrote Garrick Blalock, David R. Just, and Daniel H. Simon in a study “Hitting the Jackpot or Hitting the Skids.” The researchers made another damning discovery: Local lottery ticket sales rise with poverty, but movie ticket sales do not. In other words, lotto games are not merely another form of cheap entertainment. They are also a prayer against poverty. This fits what the researchers call the “desperation hypothesis”: States are making their most hopeless citizens addicted to gambling to pay for government services.

You also know full well that I have as little respect for the Putin (strings pulled) enabled plutocracy as that of the (strings pulled by Koch enabled) Trump plutocracy.
To correct the Russian pension fiasco simply requires a progressive tax change but most swallow the “taxing the rich would only provide 3 days pension” story hook, line & sinker.
I know a man who every Sunday goes to church…in the same time he plays the Lottery. Once I asked him : ” what is more important to you, your belief or the Lottery ? ” he answered : ” in fact, both are beliefs…”
“So you serve to two Masters…” – I replied. “Everybody does that, who works for money and then goes to church” – said the man. Well, well, lessons of Life, isn’t it ?
The Lottery issue is a tough one, Many have become dependent, even in the communism Lottery was there as sign of early weakness…If buy it or not, it is also a question of character. I still smoke but don’t play Lottery or any other “relatives” of it.
I allways thought, luck is good for more than a heap of money.
And I was right. Life on it’s way build in a number of fortunes,
when it were necessary, the biggest, when I had a fatal stroke,
four years ago, and overcame it without any harm.
Hence I embrace your: ” Lottery = sign of early weakness”.
Ah, regarding the Russian pension, I agree with you, I’m still waiting for a good article regarding this pension reform from someone who has a better information in Russian social-economic matters.
“I’m still waiting for a good article regarding this pension reform from someone who has a better information in Russian social-economic matters.”
If this is a reasonable approximation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Russian_people_by_net_worth the 88 richest individuals have worth of $0.41trillion or around $2800 for each & every man, woman & Russian child.
It’s definitely more than 3 days pension for the 14% over, say, 65.
Saw a bumper sticker once.
A Lottery is a tax on poor people.
Which is quite true to those of us who know math. Casinos offer much better odds than a lottery. And the millions that Adelson has to give Trump and Netanyahu tell anyone who looks that the odds are still in favor of the house.
Then again, I don’t regard it as a tragedy that someone out there got rich. I’m sure the Rothschild’s hate the idea of some more neauvou-rich coming to an exclusive resort with a billion in their bank accounts. But for me, I am happy for them. Good for them, and good luck to them, because the wolves will already be circling.
I occaisionally buy a lottery ticket when the jackpots get big enough. For me, I view it as entertainment. I sit around and enjoy thinking about what I’ll do if 300 million to 1 odds strike and I get that money to spend. A part of that enjoyment of thinking what I could do if I got a billion dollars or so was thinking about what causes and such I could donate to to try to make the world a better place. I don’t know what would have happened, but I’d say that if I’d gotten that billion dollar lightening bolt to hit me, then its highly likely that The Saker’s website would have gotten a nice little bit of funding! :) I get more entertainment value from a nite of thinking such thoughts about how I could try to change things if I got a billion dollars than I would from a crappy modern hollywood movie, and the lottery ticket costs less than the movie ticket. And at least some bit of it goes to pay for education in this state, instead of going to some Hollywood mogul who’s main interests are in getting young actresses onto the casting couch and subverting souls with mass produced propaganda.
So, yeah, I bought a ticket. Had a fun nite thinking about giving The Saker or a million or so of the prize fund. Then in the end, I actually won $4 from a very partial hit on the winning number. And good for whoever it was that did win it! Maybe they’ll do something more interesting with the money than take a trip to Vegas.
“Which is quite true to those of us who know math.”
Your acceptance of the existence of this tax on the poor is symptomatic of the fundamental problem – the US halfwits have also lost their moral compass.
“I’m sure the Rothschild’s hate the idea of some more neauvou-rich coming to an exclusive resort with a billion in their bank accounts.”
It doesn’t seem you imagine the plutocratic system as a problem at all but, if you did, your imaginination that they become a threat to the incumbents seems implausible: Why do 70 percent of lottery winners end up bankrupt?

The google crap on my phone (android) lists zionazi-gay articles when i use the web. One from a useless pos called wired had this title:
“it started as an online gaming prank and turned deadly”
My thought reading that title was they were talking about the microsoft cut out called steam/valve.
Didn’t read the article, no point given the source, so that’s likely not what it was, and it was some hype about some petty sosp opera instead.
The article is about a very nasty process usually known as “SWAT-ing”. Its accomplished by someone calling up the police emergency line, and reporting something horrible like an active shooter someplace, or a hostage taking. The result being that the police naturally respond to such calls with extreme urgency and in America with an armed SWAT team bearing automatic weapons, body armor, and the latest of former military equipment that the military passes on to local police departments.
Given the propensity of the American police to shoot first and ask questions later, this is a very, very dangerous thing to do to anyone, and my little prayer to God is that this board is comprised of sensible adults who would never do this to anyone. The article begins with a SWAT-ing incident in Kansas where the SWAT team did kill the target of the “prank”.
Wired has done some interesting articles over the years, and those who pay attention are thus likely to be better equiped in terms of personal internet security and privacy than those who don’t pay attention to Wired.
Here’s the link for others who’ve learned that sometimes its very worth to go check out what the crowd is telling you not to look out. https://www.wired.com/story/swatting-deadly-online-gaming-prank/
Cop is US have developed an institutional procedure set to conceal the identity of “tipsters”. As such, by the way, these protocols constitute a conspiracy to conceal material witnesses…persons who, if identified in discovery at trial might well provide the defense with important evidence and evidence of police crimes.
Just because cops say they got a call means that they said it, not that it is true.

Ecuador likely to turn Assange over to US – ex-President Correa to RT
https://www.rt.com/news/442087-correa-assange-ecuador-us/
““I believe they are going to turn over Assange to the US government,” Correa, who was leading the Latin American country at the time when it granted the WikiLeaks co-founder asylum, told RT, calling the policy of the current Ecuadorian government “a shame.”
“The Ecuadorian state has to protect Assange’s rights, he is not just an asylum [seeker]; he is a citizen,” Correa said. Granted Ecuadorian citizenship back in 2017, Assange is now supposed to be protected by the Ecuadorian constitution. But the current government is too desperate for Washington’s favor, Correa believes.
The WikiLeaks co-founder might be a bargaining chip in an agreement between the Ecuadorian authorities and US Vice President Mike Pence, who visited the Latin American country and met with President Lenin Moreno earlier this year.
Quito’s behavior shows that it has “absolutely submitted” to Washington without actually earning any favor, Correa said.
His comments came a week after two US lawmakers called on Moreno to “hand Assange over to the proper authorities,” calling him “a dangerous criminal and a threat to global security.”
In the letter, representatives Eliot Engel (D-NY) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) spoke about the US willingness “to move forward in collaborating” with Moreno’s government, mulling enhanced economic cooperation and development aid from the US. They portrayed Assange as an obstacle on the way to a bright future together for the two nations.
The lawmakers said that they were “particularly disturbed to learn that your government restored Mr. Assange’s access to the Internet.”
Both engel and ros-lehtinen are fanaticly zionazi and total israeli quislings.
J. Assange is practically put on ice for a few years now, he is no more public enemy no:1. Maybe a coincidence but this whole affair has turned this way after Trump came to power. The fact that he has now internet seems to part of the equation, it is hard to find out the whole puzzle and put them together, though it would be interesting to hear an interview with him in these days…

A few cafe’s ago we talked about economy (and some people said they were too scared to even look at it). So, this will get you to understand better in order to not be scared.
This is William Engdahl and I think it is a good interview explaining the big picture of trade wars and the why of what we see economically. He says clearly that the trade wars is a desperate hegemonic attempt to claw back at least economically power that they are losing. This is not difficult to understand.
INTERVIEW: William Engdahl on Washington’s Financial Warfare Tactics – its on soundcloud and of course not quick because it is not a quick thing – 45 minutes. In my view necessary understanding.

This isn’t news, so it doesn’t seem to fit the newswire. But, this is a favorite writer of mine, and in this piece she seems to nail a description of large parts of the American electorate. And by doing so, the inherent frustrations of trying to work politically inside America to change the course of the empire.
And, at the very least, “know your opponent.” is always very wise advice. Thus I offer up this essay. She can be found on various free-thinking websites as an author (including the link below that also publishes The Saker at times), but you won’t find her on the NPC-type websites of either the American corporate-left or the American corporate-right.
“Midterms 2018: Battle of the NPCs”
by Caitlin Johnstone
https://www.greanvillepost.com/2018/10/24/midterms-2018-battle-of-the-npcs/
here’s a couple of tastes of what’s beyond that link.
“The foam-brained mainliners of MSNBC and Washington Post propaganda deserve to have their unquestioning faith in establishment narratives mocked at every turn, and the propagandists who promulgate those lies day after day deserve to be lampooned. One of the most fundamentally profane things a human being can do is turn over their mental sovereignty to the institutions and agendas of the powerful, and by allowing themselves to be indoctrinated into establishment narratives that is exactly what is happening. They abdicate their rightful position as a creative participant in this world and allow their mental processes to be transformed into a looping churn of ideas manufactured in some DC think tank for the benefit of a few billionaires and their lackeys.”
and
“Indeed, many of these same right wingers who are going around talking about what hollow, unthinking NPCs liberals are show up in my social media notifications regurgitating think tank-manufactured arguments which have been funneled into their minds by the still very functional GOP echo chamber. It’s beyond me how anyone can see themselves as a sovereign free thinker while believing they’ll be fighting the deep state by voting for Republicans in the midterms or that this administration’s neoconservative warmongering in Iran is perfectly legitimate, but God bless them, they manage.”
and
” the only real winners will be the plutocratic class which holds all the cards and controls all the outcomes regardless of which party is in power. I’m not telling people that voting necessarily makes no difference or that it’s something they should avoid, but I am saying that no real change will come to America until Americans uproot the two-headed one-party system of the oligarchy and replace it with something that serves them.”

According to the Business Council of Canada’s Twitter account, the following business/industry groups “call for reform” of the World Trade Organization:
AI Group (Australia)
Business Council of Canada
Business Europe
Business NZ
COMCE (Mexico)
CNI (Brazil)

Hmm.
Whatever it takes!!!
I. Am now looking at 3 Paintings made by Ioan ages ago. In my “Living Room”. Oil on cardboard, and oil on canvas.
They are OUT of this world, and, no photo will EVER convey the essence,. Not possible!!
I will, however try, and post here some high res. photos of the art, once I have digested the shock of actually seeing them.
Thank You IOAN From my heart
Kent
I think that is a wonderful thing! Would love to see — even a photo only!
With greatest pleasure, my Friend !
There are Americans who think the President Should sign an Executive Order that All Federal Representatives and All Federal High Public Officials and All Anglo American Journalists Must Sign the Statement of Integrity in Government, and of Public Accountability, in order for them to be able to Work in those Positions of Public Trust.
Even if the Supreme Court rejects that Executive Order after a few years, then in the meantime, that Statement Will Saturate every fiber of the beings of All American Voters, and that is All that is Needed as far as that is Concerned.
If there is Genuine Concern that the President Would be Impeached and Convicted for such an Executive Order, then Millions of Copies of that Statement can be made and distributed, and this and other matters in this comment can be discussed on Talk Back Radio, and Social Media.
If they are innocent, then what Reason(s) do they have for Not wanting to say that they are Patriots who Qualify for a Position of Public Trust, but we Know that some or Many of them Could be Guilty.
There are Many People who Want Julian Assange to Sign this Statement of Integrity in Government, and of Public Accountability, and then other Patriotic Anglo American Journalists can Also Sign onto it.
This Would make the Story become Blatantly Obvious as to What it is Always was, and that is that Julian Assange is Innocent and is being Denied his Basic Human Rights by the Evil Anglo American Empire, and where South Americans Might think that they Might have to Migrate to America to Civilize America.
British Commonwealth Counties, and other Countries Should Demand that Northern Ireland becomes Independent to Civilize Britain with Decolonization of Ireland to the extent Practical, even if Northern Ireland has the English Monarch as their Head of State, and is a Member of the European Union and there are People in Britain who think that it is better for Britain to Secretly gives Northern Ireland a third of the Money each year that Britain gives each year to the European Union, otherwise these Countries Will Boycott All Goods and Services from England, so that Wales and Scotland Will Also Want to become Independent Countries, and join the European Union, and the United Nations has said that Julian Assange is Innocent and Should be Freed Immediately and Paid Compensation, and Many People think that he Should be Paid at Least 20 Million Dollars Compensation to be Collected from All Anglo American Countries, and that is Why there are some People who think that the English are playing things for a No deal Brexit.
We Will see if President Trump who has been the subject of False Charges with the Mueller ‘investigation’, and if President Trump who Should and who Does Know Better Know Better, if he is Secret Swamp Creature almost as much as some of others he has appointed.
This is because the Evil Empire is Anglo America, and Julian Assange is Australian, and ‘Australia’ is a Member of the Evil Anglo American Empire and it is Britain’s Puppet Colony.
The Leader of the Opposition in Australia is English as a first generation ‘Australian’ who takes Orders from England, and Australia’s Prime Minister has Shown himself to be a Puppet of the Evil Anglo America Empire with his Callous Disregard of the Bad treatment of Julian Assange who is an Australian Citizen and a Member of the Australian Journalists’ Union at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-18/pamela-anderson-lashes-out-at-scott-morrison-via-open-letter/10508472 ,
America Should be grateful that Julian Assange received those Leaked Emails, because that Information was going somewhere else if it did Not go to WikiLeaks, because Julian Assange worked with America to censor what was Needed to Protect Americans; whereas, Hillary Clinton was Hacked by other Countries and they received the Uncensored Version of Classified Information, and the Obama Department of Injustice did Not Indict her for those Obvious Crimes, while Puppets of America’s Shadow Regime are Improperly and Criminally and Tyrannically pursuing an Innocent Person, and the Statement of Integrity in Government, and of Public Accountability says the following.
All Honest Elected Federal Anglo American Representatives, and All Honest Anglo American Federal High Public Officials, and All Unbiased Anglo American Journalists Would be the type of People who Should and Would Want to Sign the Statement of Integrity in Government, and of Public Accountability, in order to Qualify and to Show their Fitness to Serve in such Positions of Public Trust, and the Statement of Integrity in Government, and of Public Accountability says the Following: “While I Deny All such accusations against myself, Yet, I Confess, that there Could be some Anglo American Politicians, and some Anglo American High Public Officials, and some Anglo American Journalists, who have become the Puppets of Anglo America’s Shadow Regime, because Anglo America’s Shadow Regime has Used Corrupt elements within Anglo America’s Police and Anglo America’s Intelligence Services such as the FBI, to Obtain the Dirt on certain Influential Anglo American Citizens, and that certain Anglo American Politicians and certain Anglo American Journalists and certain Anglo American Public Servants have become the Puppets of Anglo America’s Unelected Shadow Regime, and that these Puppets may have been, either Secretly and Unwittingly Filmed in Acts of Pedophilia, or they may have been Recruited by Existing Puppets of Anglo America’s Shadow Regime, and Willingly Filmed in Acts of Pedophilia, as their Guarantee to their Rich Anglo American Shadow Regime Puppet Masters that they Will Always be their Unprincipled Puppets for Fame with Fortune, and to Receive the Assistance from the Anglo American Shadow Regime and their Puppets where ever the Corrupt Anglo American Shadow Regime can help their Unprincipled Criminal Puppets to Avoid going to Court or Prison, because the Anglo American Shadow Regime looks after their Puppets who they are Able to, and who they Do Blackmail, and who they Do Control, and so these People Will be the Puppets of their Evil Anglo American Puppet Masters, and therefore, these Puppets have become, either the Willing, or the Unwilling Traitors to the Anglo American People”.
